Bio

Hello, my name is Daniel. My journey began with a truism yet limiting belief my mom often employed: money doesn't grow on trees. Witnessing her struggle ignited a fierce determination in me to help families like mine break the cycle of financial uncertainty. Now a STEM MSc in Finance student at Babson College, I am actively building on this mission. I’ve gone from creating a mental wellness platform (called Calmos) for hundreds of students during college to providing free financial consultations to my peers (via topmate.io/zock). My purpose is clear: to democratize financial literacy and create a world where every family, regardless of background, can grow a secure future. This has also bolstered my determination to earn the CFP (Certified Financial Planner) designation. Your support in helping me move further in this mission would mean the world.
